A Perfect Police Booking Photo

Las Vegas, NV—Apparently Paris Hilton reads the famous Crimefile News Blog. She has read past articles where I have given sound advice to smile and look your very best for your special Kodak Moment as the jailers process you for your ride in the local fun house.

Yes, Hilton was pinched by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for possession of a little of that happy dust last night.

The advantage here is obvious. Unless you’re told this was a booking photo you’d never know it just by looking at it. If this is the worst photograph you will ever see of this lady I don’t think it would be so terrible at all. The news directors and editors won’t be able to humiliate Hilton by redundantly flashing a booking photo of her with a hideous scowl and messy hair.

I wish this pretty party girl a fair day in court with an extra helping of due process and all the rehabilitation programs they can give her.

Heads, you get sloppy seconds, Tails, I'll just take some oral from Ms. Hilton, eh. Why would she reach for her lip balm and allow a bindle of coke to fall out. She didn't even make the cops work for it..geesch! She must of been so blasted she though LVPD was paparazzi?

Well, she's not famous for good judgment, and a snootful of coke doesn't exactly improve what remains. Years ago an attorney for Park Service, which has jurisdictions on the DC parkways (which are both highways and parks) told of an officer who stopped a speeding convertible sportscar, with top down. He walked up to it, ready to write the ticket, but before he could ask for the license the driver said "OK, you caught me fair and square," and held out a bag of cocaine in one hand and a fistful of hundred dollar bills in the other.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive. Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning. That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed. It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide. Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community. Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
